Feedback method for interference alignment in wireless network

1. A feedback method for interference alignment in a wireless network having K transmitters and K receivers, the method comprising: transmitting, by a transmitter n−1, a precoding vector of the transmitter n−1 (n being an integer between 2 and K−1) to a receiver n+1; calculating, by the receiver n+1, a precoding vector of a transmitter n using the precoding vector of the transmitter n−1; and transmitting, by the receiver n+1, the precoding vector of the transmitter n to the transmitter n.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, by a transmitter K−1, a precoding vector of the transmitter K−1 to receiver 1 ; calculating, by the receiver 1 , a precoding vector of a transmitter K; and transmitting, by the receiver 1 , its own precoding vector to the transmitter K.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, by a transmitter K−1, a precoding vector of the transmitter K−1 to a receiver 1 ; calculating, by the receiver 1 , a precoding vector of a transmitter K; and transmitting, by the receiver 1 , the precoding vector of the transmitter K.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein K is 4 and each of the K transmitters and the K receivers has 3 antennas.

5. A feedback method for the interference alignment in a wireless network having K (K being an integer larger than 1) transmitters and K receivers, the method comprising: transmitting, by a transmitter n−1 (n is an integer between 3 and K), a precoding vector of the transmitter n−1 to a receiver n−2; calculating, the receiver n−2, a precoding vector of a transmitter n; and transmitting, by the receiver n−2, the precoding vector of the transmitter n to the transmitter n−1.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising: transmitting, by a receiver K, a channel matrix to a receiver K−1; transmitting, by the receiver K−1, a precoding vector of a transmitter 1 , which is calculated based on the channel matrix, to the transmitter 1 ; transmitting, by the transmitter 1 , the precoding vector of the transmitter 1 to the receiver K; calculating, by the receiver K, a precoding vector of a transmitter 2 based on the precoding vector of the transmitter 1 ; and transmitting, by the receiver K, the precoding vector of the transmitter 2 to the transmitter 2 .

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein K is 4 and each of the K transmitters and the K receivers has 3 antennas.

8. A feedback method for the interference alignment in a wireless network having abase station (BS), K (K being an integer larger than 1) transmitters and K receivers, the method comprising: transmitting, by the BS, a signal dictating interferers which are aligned on the same dimension at each receiver of the K receivers to the each receiver; receiving, by the BS from the each receiver, channel status information; determining, by the BS, precoding vectors for the K transmitters; and transmitting, by the BS, the determined precoding vectors to each transmitter of the K transmitters, wherein the channel status information comprises one interference matrix multiplied by the inverse of another interference matrix, and wherein the one interference matrix indicates a channel status between a receiver and first transmitter, the inverse of the another interference matrix indicates a channel status between the receiver and second transmitter, and the first transmitter and the second transmitter are indicated by the signal.
